I'm thinking of getting a butler

BLdSWtTRs · #1 03-30-2006, 01:05 PM

I think having a butler could be a great help for me and definetly worth the price.
But before strongly considering this, is there anyway I could write their salary off my income? Anybody know of legal ways of doing this?

1. Incorporate... flow income thru corporation
2. Retitle Butler = Personal Assistant... flow salary expense thru corporation

You will have to pay the employer part of social security (6.9%) if your going to go the legal route which is the only way to count it as an expense. Keep that in mind.

cool. What do you think is a reasonable work shift. 6 days a week ten hours per day at like $50k a year.
Is it better I give the 'assitant' a room to live?
I'm just looking for ballpark, I really have no idea how much they cost.

An extra $3.5 k for social security is no big deal...

do you do anything else other than play online poker? like own a business or something?

if not, i think this is an incredible waste of money

i mean just pay a maid to come in every sunday or something instead of this crap

what kind of chores and random crap would you have a butler do for 50 hours a week? i thought you were in your 20's? do you have kids and live in a castle and have to grow your own food or something?

Is this actually a romantic relationship or a friend?

If you can't come up with 50 hours worth of things that you would like to have someone else do for you each week... You aren't doing enough yourself! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
